This is going to be sweet. I can drop the Sugar Daddy bot next to my portable mailbox and Jeeves and run through all 10 toons, gathering piles of swag every day :)

I bet the mats are going to be insanely hard to get for awhile. Heck, you won't believe the amount I had to pay to get Jeeves' eyes back in the day....

Commentaire de Darvon

Blingtron 4000 has infinite wealth, so how much would Blingtron 4001 have?

Commentaire de Yardit

This looks like it will be awesome, I cannot wait for more information on this.

Commentaire de stickshift

Depending on the "gifts", I can already hear the lockbox-type whispers that haunt rogues to this day.

Edit: "Psst! Hey guy, sorry to bother ya in Mogu, but that Yak Milk I got yesterday was Awesome! Is yer Bling up?"

Commentaire de Nulgar

So, will the gift-giving cooldown be per player or per Bling/owner of Bling? As in, can the whole raid receive a gift each, or just one person? edit It's a daily, hence, everyone can talk to Bling. However, that daily is account-wide.

Now we see where all that repair money has gone to over the years. Jeeves' been hording it for his upgrade.

I'm hoping to see this guy next to an NPC named "Tiny Wayne" (or some creative variant of Lil Wayne) in a Pandaren city soon.

Commentaire de L0keman

Now with 400% more rediculous cooldown. The happy meal toy is cool and all.... But still a useless gimmick. Being able to repair once every 4 hrs is just outright insulting.

Gifts for all with Bling!:)

Hope this wont be too expensive too make

Commentaire de Darudus

will give out a random gift to ANYONE who talks to him. So I think Engineers are just gonna supply others with nice goodies as well then.

Commentaire de ironskillet

i gave that #$%^& a gift, %^&*!es love gifts

Commentaire de Deathbang

My only concern about this item is that the cooldown is 3 hours longer than Jeeves. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to be making one of these things. I mean, c'mon free bling? That's awesome! But I worry that since "bling" isn't quite a necessary part of pve, this item may not get the use it deserves. C'mon Blizzard! Limit the bling to once a day, but at least make the repair and banking functions of this item on par with it's predecessor! (And for the love of all things sacred please do NOT just make Jeeves have a longer cooldown.)

Commentaire de Joefesok2

Jeeves will now have a wittle buddy to play with for me to yell at my guildies about how "EPICALLY ADORIBLE THE TWO OF THEM ARE TOGETHER D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

Commentaire de Lore

Ok. So here's what the item actually does.Once every 4 hours you can deploy the npc Blingtron. He will give the daily quest Bling-o-tron 4000 to anyone on your faction that talks to him.

This is a daily quest so expect to freqently see Bling up around your city's auction house, at which point you can use it on all your alts at any level.The daily quest given by Bling now seems to be only availab'e to level 80 characters and above and is now account wide, so you can only complete it once per battlenet account.

(edited to reflect replies below)

Commentaire de ifjkl

Speaking of what it does... This is awesomeThe Blingtron 4000 will be fully stocked with a variety of fun items such as Party Grenades,but even better than that, it has a chance (a very, very small one)to give the gift of an Engineering mount or pet. ...does give Engineering mounts and pets ...FOR FREE

Commentaire de sssdee

Commentaire de elitest

I know this will be down voted for this but I have to question the value of this item.

The mats for this are somewhat expensive. About what it would have been to build a jeeves back in the day. I don't have a problem with that. It is a max level reusable item that does offer benefits to those that use it..

But let's have a rational conversation about those benefits.

The profession levelling Fire Spirit won't help the engineer who crafted him. The engineer already has 600 engineering. If the engineer is a miner it is likely also maxed. I suppose it might help another profession that isn't mining. Definately would be useful in future expansions.

Also, free engineering mounts and pets for everyone! Wait a minute... Isn't that a source of income for engineers? Why would I set up a mount and pet vending machine in a place where people could find it. I don't care how low the drop rate is.

It is a cool idea and fun to make new friends and help guildies and whatnot. I just don't really see the benefit for the engineer.

As of last night, this was hot-nerfed to last 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes.

Commentaire de rfrisk

I saw my first Blingtron today that was available for me to get a package.

This thing is cool and a lot of fun, however, it is quite expensive in the way of mats. 4 living steels, 4 wild jade, 4 onyx, 4 trillium, and the painful one - 4 harmony spirits (takes a while to get these and can't buy em).

People really seem to appreciate me using this macro, I get /thank'ed alot and more people turn up to use Bling than before I wrote/used the macro.

Edit: Updated Macro with improvements and Guild Alert.

Commentaire de Furydeath

As of the last PTR build you can now part down with bling and get a 1 hour buff called Look qui tue and he will pimp you out. Doesn't seem to have the daily for my level 85's so not sure what is up there.

Commentaire de kingerz

Not worth making it untill later on in the expac: almost certain to get you nothing at the cost of 5k+. Make the mount instaed even if it is the longer road.

Commentaire de Kanegasi

Patch 5.1 changes:

He gives a buff called Look qui tue when talked to that lasts for an hour.

His package can only be received by one character per account daily, with no level requirement. Source

Commentaire de ensurdagen

As of 5.1 you may only receive a gift package on one character, no more picking up gifts on all of your 80+ alts.

Furthermore, a new option, Let's Party!, has been added to Blingtron's dialog that turns your character into a human dressed to party.

Commentaire de eyeface

It now appears as of patch 5.1 that multiple characters on the same account cannot do the daily quest each day.

Commentaire de theariza

OMG, he just made me party!

Commentaire de JeroStoney

As of Patch 5.1, it appears that everyone of all levels can interact with Blingtron 4000 and select "Lets Party!", in which you transform into a human in a stylish, Bank character type garb complete with a stylish hat (seems to vary... I've seen a zebra and tiger style hats), with a 1 hour "buff" called Look qui tue.

Commentaire de perculia

In Patch 5.1, Blingtron now has a "Let's Party" dialogue option. This gives your character a 60 minute disguise, Look qui tue, that transforms your character into a black-and-white pantsuit with a Chapeau d'aventurier stylé.

Commentaire de Demonae

They broke the Blingtron, only first toon got a present, rest got a costume.

Commentaire de hamilkar1815

As others have noted, as of 5.1 Blingtron only gives one gift per day per ACCOUNT. When I built this, I expected it to pay for itself via the trash drops in the package from my various toons. Now they've made it yet another money sink for engineers. Not worth the build in my opinion, just fluff for an expensive investment. Repair bots are a better use of time and resources. Sent a ticket to a GM, but I already know what the answer will be.

Response from GM:

This is the latest response from Customer Support: Hey there Hamilkar!

This item was only intended to be once per day, per account. According to the blog post back on September 18th, found at http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/7305441, "Sometimes you just want to add a little sparkle to your day, perhaps even a little bling. We present to you, stalwart and talented engineers of Azeroth, the Blingtron 4000. It doesn’t slice, it doesn’t dice, but it does churn out gifts! You’ll have ‘em lining up wherever you set this new invention down in the hope of getting a special gift. (Gifts are limited to one per day, per account, to anyone who talks with him while he’s around.) ". This was actually broken up until the 5.1 patch, where we fixed it.

My response was simple: Why not make this obvious from the narrative description of the item in question instead of it being in an obscure blogspot source? Item description clearly states "anyone", not only once per day per account. Very misleading, poorly thought through and poorly executed.

Commentaire de JeroStoney

It appears that if you're standing close enough to Bling-o-tron 4000 now, you'll hear some faint techno/disco-type music with some laughter in the backround. Not sure if this is new with 5.1.0 since my music is usually all the way down prior to hearing this.

He also offers some parting words now. Right before he despawns, he'll say, "Goodbye, nearby living beings! My unique presence is requested in another dimension."

Commentaire de Mandiieruth

Pandoras 2 days ago (Patch 5.0.5)Got a response on my ticket about account wide gifts This is Game Master Quarumoli. It would appear that this is an issue that caught the attention of our Quality Assurance and Development teams. Seems the quest has been marked as an account wide quest at this time, however we have not yet received confirmation if this is intended or not. Like not though, heh. Suffice to say we are looking into it as we speak and should have it taken care of soon if determined to be a bug. <3

Yeah i just cant get anymore quests on any toons on my account for a couple days now period good to know im not the only one having issues.

Commentaire de RighteousMonkey

Commentaire de Phentari

Since the patch, I have been completely unable to receive gifts from Blingtron. I spawn him, and he only offers the transformation option. None of my other characters on the account are receiving gifts. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Commentaire de rfrisk

Lately, it seems like every time I put down Blingtron he doesn't award a gift package, but just says "Let's Party" and if you click on it you get a "Dressed to Kill" transformation. Kinda of dumb for all the gold Blingtron costs. So far, It's a pretty disappointing Engineering recipe.

Commentaire de DoriArgentDawn

Well, Blizzard's latest change to the Blingtron now makes it a LOT less fun, and also not worth it to engineers to spend their coin to make.

One gift per day PER ACCOUNT SUCKS! Put it back the way it was, dammit! I didn't spend my time leveling multiple characters to get screwed over on bonus items, most of which are useful but not extraordinary. COME ON BLIZZARD!

Commentaire de Ackadia

"The daily quest that Blingtron 4000 offers can now be accepted by a character of any level, BUT ONLY ONCE PER DAY, PER ACCOUNT."

So, if you have a horde engineer on one server and an ally engineer on another server you have to pick which faction can do a daily...

And all very well saying any level - but they removed xp award for the quest early on so no massive benefit to low level alts.

So patch 5.1 and Blizzard nerf Blingtron so far into the ground no engineer will ever invest the time and mats in it again! Way to fail and hack off already fed up players!

As it is I've cancelled my account (after 6 years) over the relentless grinds for rep on alts just to spend VP. Then the insanely low drop rates for things like the Pat Nagle daily - and now this?

Call me if you like for a /qq but I can see absolutely no reason for Blizzard to so harshly nerf this. Just helped validate my account cancellation. I've paid up to May (FML) but they'll never get another penny from me!

Commentaire de Dohhh

Hey all,

From the 5.1 Landfall patchnotes:

The daily quest that Blingtron 4000 offers can now be accepted by a character of any level, but only once per day, per account. In addition, Blingtron 4000 now freely dispenses fashion advice that provides a dramatic increase in snazziness for 1 hour.

Commentaire de Rooibos

Already helped me once in finding him. I had almost left Dalaran, when I was alerted that there was Blingtron standing in the inn I rarely ever visited.

Commentaire de Xbander

Notice his earring is appropriately in his left ear, because left is right, and right is wrong. He's clearly not gay.

Commentaire de chriz2fer

For those of you with more than one WoW account: As far as I know this is the first instance of actually being penalized for merging your accounts under one Battle.net ID. Only one character per Battle.net ID can do this daily each day. So even if you pay $150/month for ten accounts (just an example) you can only do this daily once total across all of them.

To clarify, had I never merged my two WoW accounts together, I could still do the daily twice per day, once per license. Honestly I bet this is an oversight. But so minor in their eyes I doubt it will ever be fixed.

Commentaire de chicken2u

on 12-14-12 i can confirm he drops the mechanohog atleast.. got it a few mins ago

Commentaire de NoOneLeft

I don't think I'd mind not being able to log to all my alts and get this 11 times per server, but I should be able to at least get it once per leveled engineer.

I think my ideal with some balance would be this:

Change the cooldown to 23 hours.

Give each spawned Blingtron an ID. When you use a Blingtron that character gets marked as having done the quest AND your account gets marked as having use that particular Blingtron. Any character can use any Blingtron they find so long as they haven't done that quest that day AND the account hasn't used that particular Blingtron.

If you use an item that changes your gender (like Mr. Smite's Brass Compass) then the "Let's Party" option will transform you into the other gender's version instead.

Commentaire de lichkilla

this is now a must for dead servers. it has boosted moral and community participation around my low pop server 100x over. i just make a /2 announcement a few times throughout the day with location and information about updated loot tables, frequency of quest,etc. and it turns a usually dead orgrimmar into a feeding frenzy. i am having a hard time keeping up with all the /bows and thanks i receive via pm, it's been overwhelming. tl:dr - dead server + blingatron4000 + announcement = ftw

Also notice that the quest is a daily battle.net account wide. If you have a second WOW account in your battle.net account you will not be able to pick up the quest a second time in the same day.

Commentaire de Barleduq

Has anyone figured out the clothing for the party outfit? I'd like to look like that more often than I can find Blingtron...

There are two outfits. One is a black shirt/jacket with white lapels showing at the neck. The other is a white shirt with brown lapels and collar. The screenshots I took of the brown one have been accepted and are visible from this page.

Chest: The black jacket might be Veste de smoking. I haven't found the white shirt with brown lapels yet.

Pants:Haven't found these yet.

Shoes:The brown outfit has knee high boots, close-fitted, dark/charcoal grey and what looks like the cuffover at the top in a lighter grey, and has 4 buttons on the side. I haven't had the black outfit on again to check the boots.

Note: I can't find a page for the 'Dressed to Kill' buff - that's the name of a quest, and that's all that comes up when I put that in the search bar here. I'll update as I find it... if I do.

Commentaire de redfinale

My assumption as to why Blizz made it an account wide daily is apparently people were getting really anal about doing the blingtron daily on all their toons, feeling like they were being forced to log in just to do them. Blizz had made a blue post on the subject, i think saying how blingtron wasn't meant to be a chore and as a STFU to the people who were feeling taxed having to log in toon to toon just to collect the box, they made it account wide as a daily.

Commentaire de SukkiQ

If they did these changes might aswell increase the drop rates a lil bit . here they come ( down votes oh noeees )

Commentaire de ruvi12

I don't see why you should NOT build this. I mean think about it, from the day you build it until the day you quit WoW, you have a chance on getting 1 of the 4 mounts, rare engineering pets, fancy armour or just a few/lot of gold from grey items. That and people in your guild/realm will be thankfull!

For some silly fun, when you're in saurok form in Ihgaluk Crag on Isle of Thunder, drop your Blingtron and click on "Let's Party!"

For several months now, all I've received with the VERY occasional exception of a vendor-item worth from 8-12 gold (once per week at most), is party grenades and super-heated oil (worth copper) or the oily glove/"romance novel" (worth a few silver).

It's no longer worth the effort to even drop the bugger. And if I level any other engineers on other servers, I won't bother with the mats to make it. I'm not getting my money's worth.

It's been a year and I've dropped it almost everyday and I've never received any of the rare items it can purportedly drop. What a waste of Living Steel.

Why is there no comments of how to get him....? I'm a engineer but i haven't accepted whether i want Gnomish or Goblin Engi yet.. I was guessing he's from Gnomish, but i want to be sure. Where do you get the recipe? Can both Gnomish and Goblin Engi's make him...? I would love to know.

Commentaire de projecteulogy

GG Blizz, way to screw people out of Mats that could be spent making other stuff to actually make you money, or other vanity items. It's not really worth an Engineer's mats to make this now that its an "Account Daily". The only value to this, is the fact I can sell Ghost Iron Bars and Trillium Bars for stupid amounts of money. And you guys wonder why you keep losing Subscriptions with these stupid nerfs.

Commentaire de Msallie

Worth the materials just to be fun and share and a daily to go toward quest. I deploy it a lot and never get the Orb of Mystery. Anyone else receive an Orb of Mystery. It sells from a vendor for around 18,000g. The vendor trash can add up with an occasional perverted undertone.

Does Bling not have any karma code? Meaning the more you share, the better your chances are of getting better loot?

Just thinking out loud....

Want a real bit of fun in these long months waiting for WoD?

Put Blingtron in some really tough to reach places and watch other players attempt to reach him!

My favorite is probably the "under construction" tent at Darkmoon Faire, most players will seemingly assume he is another daily and it will confuse the heck out of 'em when they see a daily in the middle of the boarded up tent. =D

Commentaire de jamongus

Here's an improved version of the macro already listed below.

#showtooltip/run if GetItemCooldown(87214)==0 then px,py=GetPlayerMapPosition("player");SendChatMessage(format("Blingtron Deployed at %s in "..GetZoneText().."! (%.1f,%.1f)",GetMinimapZoneText(),px*100,py*100),"CHANNEL",nil,"2")end/use Blingtron 4000

What this does is say into trade chat "Blingtron Deployed at (location) in (zone)", followed by coordinates. It also will only work if Blingtron is not on cooldown (meaning you cant accidentally say you deployed a blingtron, when you did not).

So for example, if I'm in Stormwind City by the fountain, this macro will say in trade chat: Blingtron deployed at Trade District in Stormwind City! (61.0, 74.0)likewise, if I'm in the middle of the alliance shrine it will say:Blingtron deployed at The Emperor's Step in Shrine of Seven Stars! (87.0, 66.0)

the macro is barely short enough to modify to post in guild chat as well. That macro looks like this:#showtooltip/run if GetItemCooldown(87214)==0 then px,py=GetPlayerMapPosition("player");SendChatMessage(format("Blingtron deployed at %s in "..GetZoneText().."! (%.1f,%.1f)",GetMinimapZoneText(),px*100,py*100),"GUILD",nil,"GUILD")end/use Blingtron 4000

enjoy!

Commentaire de MichaelNorth

I couldn't find any backstory on Blingtron - nothing official anyway - seems to be tossed in the game without one - so here is my contribution to WoW lore for this extremely powerful NPC known as Blingtron...

Once upon a time there was an aspiring Gnome experimenting with newly discovered technology without proper testing and safty precautions; nothing new for a Gnome.As he was working with a Flux Capacitor to close to a perfect primordial prism,

a rift in the time continuum was created and from this discovery Blingtron was created. A transdimensional being that can and does leap through the cosmos sometimes inhabiting the body of Blingtron 3000’s as they are summoned.

The entity that inhabits your Blingtron has the power to dispence treasures it has in its cashe of secret treasures he keeps in an unknown location. He is a lonely soul that appears in random places, never knowing when or where he will be next.

Although he gains his pleasure from dispensing gifts to everyone he meets sometimes he is left in his secret lair for far too long and has developed a taist for steemy romance novels and the like.

So if you catch him off guard you may receive an oily glove or perhaps even a sample of viscouse liquid, so be warned.

It has been said however that he has the power to hand out epic mounts and expensive chochkees worth hundreds of gold. One things for sure you are most likely to get that extra bit you need to repair your armor if you join him in his quest to have fun.

This item has become a Toy as of the Legion pre-patch! Pack rats rejoice!

LEGION ENGINEERING TOYS

Most Engineering Toys are Bind On Use. While their schematics are fairly easy to get, you can also have another Engineer craft them, or they can be purchased on the Auction House if someone happens to be listing them.A few more notes:

You DO NOT need to be an Engineer to learn the profession Toys and add them to your collection! You need to have Engineering of the appropriate skill (and Goblin or Gnomish specialization, if applicable) to USE the item from your Toy box.

The above is useful to know if you are gunning for achievements like (which rewards the mount ), as you do not need to be able to use the Toy for it to count for such achievements.

Many of these profession Toys are "hidden" in your Toybox until you learn them - you will not see them, even if filtered for Toys you have not collected. This may throw you off if you are using the Toybox as a guide for what Toys you have not obtained.

Below is a list of teleportation devices that have become Toys as of the Legion pre-patch.

Bind-on-Use. Requires Goblin Engineering. Schematic is learned from Zap Flanqueloin in Everlook, Winterspring, - if you are a Goblin Engineer with 260 skill, he will teach it to you simply by speaking to him. Requires 260 skill to use.

Bind-on-Use. Requires Gnomish Engineering. Schematic is learned from Jhordy Lanforge in Gadgetzan, Tanaris, - if you are a Gnomish Engineer with 260 skill, he will teach it to you simply by speaking to him. Requires 260 skill to use.

Bind-on-Use. Requires Goblin Engineering. Schematic is learned from Kablamm Flanqueloin in Area 52, Netherstorm, - if you are a Goblin Engineer with 350 skill, he will teach it to you simply by speaking to him. Requires 350 skill to use.

Bind-on-Use. Requires Gnomish Engineering. Schematic is learned from Risette O'Byron in Blade's Edge Mountains, - if you are a Gnomish Engineer with 350 skill, he will teach it to you simply by speaking to him. Requires 350 skill to use.

Commentaire de SargonStarblade

Hey just made this suggestion to Blizzard and wanted to get fellow engineer input on the idea.

"I think it would be cool if with the next version of Blingtron the owner got 1 gold for each person that used it if the owner stays withing like 30 feet of it until it despawned. It could add up the total and mail it to them, that way if they do not stay there they get nothing. Another way would be that they just got the gold directly. Its not that much gold, so those that do not have much would have a way to get a little gold, but those that have a bunch would find it a waste of time."

Let me know what you think.

This item is becoming a toy in Legion!EDIT:Due to the popularity of this tool I have created a Wowhead guide! Check it out and feel free to leave suggestions for me in the comments :)New Toys - Old Items Converting to ToysI figured it's better now than later to start farming the old items that will be converted to toys in Legion. Who knows if they'll lower drop rates or how heavily they will be camped once they're added to the toybox.I made myself a Google Sheets document to track all the toys being converted and it has the ability to mark off the item once you've found it. With the filters I can then hide any marked off toys. This has really helped me find and track the long list of items and I wanted to share it with the community. I've heavily cleaned it up for sharing purpose, so feel free to use it as you please!
